I'm sure I had you all hanging on the edge of your seats wondering which coupons I would receive this week! I must say this week was a good week!

I learned something this week.....

Persistence is key! I had recently contacted the CLIF company with my coupon request. I got back the standard e-mail suggesting to look on their website, or in the Sunday inserts, etc. Well, for whatever reason, I accidentally contacted CLIF a second time with the same exact e-mail I sent the first time. Well, this time the response was different! I was thanked for contacting them AGAIN, and they were able to fulfill my request this time! Scroll down below to see what I received :-) So, it may pay off to contact companies you are especially interesting in multiple times!

Also, I received a nice surprise from Frito-Lay. I had contacted them, and received a "no" response, however, about a week later I got 2 separate envelopes each with coupons in honor of National Potato Chip Day! Awesome! Scroll down below to see what I received!

Directions:
Cook
ground beef in a large skillet on medium high until no longer pink;
drain. Place in slow cooker. Add seasoning mix; tomatoes, beans, chilies and water. Mix well. Cover.
Cook for 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high.
For the cornbread topping, if using low setting, increase to high. Prepare corn muffin batter as directed on package. Drop batter by spoonfuls on top of simmering chili. Cover. Cook 30 minutes longer or until toothpick inserted into center of cornbread topping comes out clean. Sprinkle with cheese.

Spread top of each cupcake with tinted frosting.
Press each cupcake into tinted coconut to cover top completely. Spread
donut holes with remaining frosting. Press a donut hole into top of each
cupcake to form the bunny’s head.

For the ears, cut a 1/4-inch
slice off the flat ends of each marshmallow to make 24 slices. Dip cut
sides of the marshmallow slices into the coconut until completely
covered. (Reserve remaining marshmallow pieces.) Attach 2 marshmallow
slices to the head of each bunny with frosting to create ears.

Press
a jelly bean half into the face for the nose and sprinkles for the
whiskers. Use the chocolate chips for the eyes. Press the plain
marshmallow pieces into the cupcakes for the belly.
